Hello,
I have got a Lenovo X230 laptop with Intel i5, 8gb DDR3, Windows 7pro.
The laptop came with 4 gb DDR3 pre-installed, which worked at 1.5V.
Now I added a module of the same type (though not the same brand - Crucial) matching the pre-installed module (4GB DDR3, PC3-12800, 1600MHz, Single-rank, CL11). The new DDR module is supposed to work both on 1.5 and 1.35V. However, when I look into CPU-Z i see that the original module is still running on 1.5 V, while the new module has the voltage of only 1.28V.
Is that allright that the two memory modules are running with different voltages?
Eventually, if it is not ok, is there a (software) way how to tweak the DDR voltages (lenovo x230 BIOS does not allow for such things)?
Thanks
